When I suspended to RAM and then resumed, my syslog window started scrolling the following: Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: [] mwait_idle+0x0/0x5f Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: [] cpu_idle+0xc7/0xee Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: [] start_secondary+0x2e4/0x2f5 Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: WARNING: at include/linux/rcupreempt.h:91 rcu_enter_nohz() Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: Call Trace: Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: [] tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick+0x1c6/0x2aa Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: [] mwait_idle+0x0/0x5f Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost gpm[2095]: *** err [gpm.c(529)]: Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost gpm[2095]: select(): Interrupted system call Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: [] cpu_idle+0x42/0xee Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: [] start_secondary+0x2e4/0x2f5 Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: WARNING: at include/linux/rcupreempt.h:99 rcu_exit_nohz() Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: Call Trace: Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: [] tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick+0x82/0x17d Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: [] mwait_idle+0x0/0x5f Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: [] cpu_idle+0xc7/0xee Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: [] start_secondary+0x2e4/0x2f5 Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: WARNING: at include/linux/rcupreempt.h:91 rcu_enter_nohz() Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: Call Trace: Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: [] tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick+0x1c6/0x2aa Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: [] mwait_idle+0x0/0x5f Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: [] cpu_idle+0x42/0xee Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: [] start_secondary+0x2e4/0x2f5 Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: Oct 2 19:45:46 localhost kernel: WARNING: at include/linux/rcupreempt.h:99 rcu_exit_nohz() Ad infinitum. Not sure what you're looking for to be cleared in the enter and exit functions, but it doesn't look like it's happening after a resume. Didn't seem to affect the behavior of the kernel, since the network came up and I was able to function normally (or as normally as I can function).
